The increase goes into effect at the end of July but can be applied retroactively from 1 January 2019. 

As Paperjam reported, the minimum wage--around €2,485 and €2,071 for skilled and unskilled workers, respectively--applies to some 70,000 employees. 

MPs further voted unanimously on Tuesday to increase the minimum income for social inclusion (Revis) as well as income for people with severe disabilities (RPGH).
